I don't really get why you need a women-only forum on renovations. Breastfeeding, pregnancy, breast cancer, etc - it makes sense to have a special forum for all of these, which by their nature would be predominantly women, and I can see that many women would feel more comfortable discussing these issues with other women.
But I'm with skater, when it comes to anything to do with property investing or renovating, I'd rather ask right here!
BayView, I do think some women take advantage of their "special status as a formerly disadvantaged group" to do things that men would never get away with.
I think the men's-only exclusive clubs, for example, are offensive. I would never want to join one anyway, but the idea that their enjoyment of their club would somehow be ruined if they happened to see a -
gasp! - woman in their midst, is ridiculous, anachronistic, and objectionable.
I also don't get the concept of women-only gyms, diet clubs, etc. If you're that paranoid about any man seeing you working out, then I think it'd be more productive to seek counselling for your excessive concern about the opinions of others, than to seek out a women-only gym.
I don't agree that the focus on breast cancer research etc is sexist. It may be that breast cancer does get a lot more press than comparable men's issues, but that's because women have worked so hard to gain publicity for this cause. Men could, and should, do likewise for men's issues, and I applaud Movember and similar initiatives. (And support them with donations.)
